Alaska Supreme Court
Elizabeth H. Rollins, Appellant v. State of Alaska, Department of Public Safety, Alcoholic Beverage Control Board…
November 22, 2013312 P.3d 1090
Summary
The court affirmed the superior court's decision upholding the Board's denial of Rollins's application for a waiver of the liquor-license operating requirement. It held that Rollins, as the applicant seeking a waiver, bore the burden of proving that the premises could not be operated through no fault of her own, and substantial evidence supported the Board's finding that business decisions caused the nonoperation. The court also rejected Rollins's due process and equal protection claims. No separate opinions were filed.
